Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common embryonal kidney cancer in children, and the base excision repair (BER) mechanism is crucial for repairing DNA damage from reactive oxygen species. Genetic polymorphisms in BER genes may impact cancer risk by affecting DNA repair capacity. METHODS: The research included 416 individuals with WT and 936 without the condition, examining 20 single nucleotide...
